HISTORY of EMBROIDERY - From King Tut to the 21st Century - Domestika

[@murilomatosmendonca9065]

I learned to embroider following my doctor’s orders with the purpose of helping me to recover from memory loss. And it worked beyond all my expectations.

👏👏

I embroidered in high school as a a way to pass time on summer vacations spent at my grandmother’s rural home. I recently had surgery and once again picked up the hobby while recovering. Four months later, I’m obsessed.

Waaaaaw, hope you are very good at it now?

[@alargeaviary4895]

This video really moved me. I have recently taken up embroidery and it feels very natural to me. My beloved late Granny embroidered for many years in her older age. This feels a little like a link to her, and to other generations of people before me and around me who I may never know but they all use the same needles and threads, and make the same motions that I make now, and it is a special kind of connection.

My dad used to embroider as a serviceman he said he took it up abroad to keep him focused as well as to pass the time. I still have some of his stuff.

[@thomashubbell8612]

My great uncle spent time on a submarine during WW2. They were taught embroidery to keep them busy during “dead time” when no sounds could be made.

I like to imagine the embroidery loop is older than drums. Ever set one up and go 'pat pat pat' on it? Yeah. Something nice and primal about that. Someone stretches out skin to or work on and a kid keeps hitting it with a stick, making a cool sound. That's what being human is all about.

[@marathorne6821]

Embroidery is very much on my "want to learn" list. Thank you for this little gem of a video 🙏

[@DianeJarvis-f1o]

May only have been an advert for a course, but this mini doc was beautiful and I loved every short minute of it. Thank you!

[@Darling_Decay]

I love doing this so much, I’m still new to it all but it’s just soo fun!! Amazing thing to do when you’re anxious or don’t know what to do with your hands while watching/listening to something

[@SamDias0496]

Why haven't they mentioned Indian embroidery...... One of the finest.... Made the Brits crazy too😂❤

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Great information! Thank you.

[@domestikaenglish]

🤗🤗

[@susanbakerfarmer5452]

Is there a way to contact the author of this piece? I teach an embroidery history to 1600-1650-ish. I have questions about a couple of the stills that you share.

[@dianejarvis5620]

Excellent! Thank you. Wish it were longer however.

[@njanjelantum1904]

Great history to remember

[@aditirege748]

I feel the information in this video is incomplete. You have not covered Indian embroidery at all. Here the type and designs of embroidery change from state to state

[@michelleramsey4302]

African embroidery and it's contributions were left off as well...(sigh)

[@susanbakerfarmer5452]

I'm trying to find more information. Can either of you point me to sources?

[@Kate98755]

it’s a 7 1/2 minute video, this covered alot in the little time 🤦‍♀️🙄

[@dressmup1]

agreed, the video ended too soon, I wanted more!

[@margesherwood5103]

Make your own video.

[@Iqkajsu]

beautifully done ...thank you

[@LVXMagick]

Great video! Thank you.

[@angelacornell8660]

What about North India , Which still has a significant commercial hand embroidery industry 😊

[@WoofyMcDoodle]

Sad that this art is gone. Something so beautiful and artistic, instead they praise the idustrial revolution and the invention of synthetic fibres that harm our environment as something positive.

[@JayPersing]

It's not though? Check out the royal school of needlework

[@chandrikamummusavla6117]

Yes this is incomplete vidio because not covered Indian embroidery

[@lorrygeewhizzbang9521]

That map of the British isles at 2.52 🤦‍♀️

[@VetsrisAuguste]

“…if you imagine a person patiently stitching…that person is most likely a woman…” Despite being raised in a family where mastery of fiber arts is a strong tradition, particularly amongst the women, every expert embroiderer I have ever known was a man.

[@Noblebird02]

we really need this to be split into ancient and modern: I am trying to find out more about embroidery in the first century BCE. Also Please for the sake of neurodiverse and elderly viewers remove the obnoxious and distracting music.

[@daniaeyad7543]

This lacks info embroidery started in Palestine or the land of Canaan even before old egyptianz took over it started in the oldest city ever the city of Al Khalil in eng Hebron in Palestine

[@WoofyMcDoodle]

Palestine didnt exist at that time yet neither did the Palestinian people. Egypt controlled the region and the ancient egyptians started this (as far as we know it maybe they made it even earlier but this is the earlierst examples we have)

[@hotmeish]

❤❤❤

[@VetsrisAuguste]

So, no description of the basic concept of embroidery. No further detail into the “secret messages” alluded to in the intro. A misleading reference to the advent of the jacquard loom as if damask is the same thing as embroidery. Then we skip right to the footage of modern embroidery machines without any explanation of how we got there. Hmmm. Wikipedia has better info.

[@Gioancuna]

We are here Because Of Project Classroom 😂

[@priyesh12tiwary51]

Do you guys do actual research or just say what you recall from your school days? Such misinformation.

[@ahmedfakhir]

Not necessarily a woman 😊!
